This darling animal is a wombat. Check it out! (Follow the link to a cute video.)

Problem of the day:

Silly Cameron for his fifth birthday party with a superhero theme. Can you guess which superhero he wanted to be?

If you see Ms. James today, be sure to wish her a very happy birthday!

This fuzzy creature is an arachnid, or spider. All spiders have eight legs. Tarantulas are generally not poisonous to humans, and some people even keep them as pets!

Problem of the day:

Cameron plays the goal keeper (goalie) on his lacrosse team. He gets hit with the ball a lot. He has many bruises on his arms and legs. He loves it better than any other position though. I think Cameron is an awesome lacrosse player. In this picture, you can see him saving a ball. Can you find the ball?

Funny monkey video…

Problem of the day:

Do a Google search for United States flags and identify which state displays this flag (Mr. Gutierrez will have tickets for extra credit answers!) :

This is from Cameron’s fourth birthday breakfast. He had a pirate theme.

I’m learning to play a new musical instrument that you can see in the photo below. Does anyone know what it’s called? Can you find out? How would you find out?

Problem of the day- copy and fill in the missing numbers in the tally chart:

These are my kitties Charlie and Marley. Charlie is a boy and Marley is a girl. They look very much alike. However, Charlie has a white chin and Marley has a black chin. Plus they wear different colored collars. That helps me tell them apart. In the picture, they are still kittens. I took the picture two years ago.

This is me when I was a little girl at the beach near my house. I was making a sand candle. To make a sand candle, you dig a hole in the damp sand and put in seashells. Then you find a stick and tie a special string, called a wick. The wick goes into the hole. Then you pour melted wax into the sandy hole. When the wax cools, it hardens. You can then take the candle out of the hole. The outside of the candle is sandy and you can see the seashells. My mother had to pour the wax because it was hot. Making sand candles is a fun activity.

Extra extra credit: What is the name of this very old show (it was originally shown before a movie, but can be seen in reruns on television, or on YouTube)?

This is a video on how to reduce fractions. It is six minutes long. Maybe it will help you figure out reducing the fraction problem that is today’s extra credit.

This is Cameron when he was almost four. It was taken at Payne School in front of the old Room 23. It isn’t there anymore because it was torn down to make room for our new school building. He seems so little here!

This is Cameron playing with my PhotoBooth. He cracks me up!

SOUP CANS! Please…

Balloon Invaders video game to practice your multiplication and division facts.

Problem of the day:

This is my family. Jeff, Cameron, and I had our picture taken at his fifth grade commencement almost a year ago. His hair is even longer now!

Coordinate graphing game! Drag the space boy to the correct location on the coordinate graph.

Problem of the day:

This is my Hermione Granger costume. I love the Harry Potter books!

Problem of the day:

Cute kitten video!

I’m on the left. I’m with my friend Julie at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire. It was the day of the costume competition. I sewed both costumes myself, and we both won first place in different categories.

This is Charlie, when he was a kitten. We call this his zombie picture. He is much bigger now.
